charged in the Police Court to-day with assaultng
James Z. Arnold, conductor on car No. SO, OF the
washington and Georgetown Railroad. Arnold
testined that between and O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the defendant got on his car, near the
National Theater. He handed witness fares for
himself and lady. He stopped on the rear plat
form and wanted to know II he could smoke q
cigarette. Witness told him that 1t was against
the rules OF the company, aud that he could not
smoke on the rear platform. He then began to
use profane language, and, there being ladies in
the car ne stopped the car at 10th street and put
him on. The defendant followed the car TO 9TH
car. Witness objected. and the defendant stabbed
him In the hand with a penknife. The car left

cam. up in vehicle. Witness was on the rear
platform when the defendant, with revolver in
me ride, or hi blow your brains out" Witness
attempted to take the revolver from him, and was
assisted by Others, but the driver OF the vehicle,
ne thought, got possession OF the weapon. Wit
ness said that the defendant was under the in
1uence OF liquor. Defendant got on the car at
maryland avenue after the weapon was taken
from MIN, and rode to Pennsylvania avenue and
4th street southeast, where he was turned over to
Policeman Wilson. Other witnesses gave similar
testimony, and all said that the DEFENDANT was
under the influence OF liquor.
Mr.. q. 5. Moore, representing the defendant, said
that he would put his client On the stand, but his
testimony would be very indefinite, and would not
assist the court in coming to a Conclusion. He
thought 1t was very unfortunate affair for the
defendant, who has never before been arrested on
any charge. The entire transaction, he said, was
q blank 10 the defendant.
Mr. Shepperd said he thought the AFFAIR was
not only unfortunate, but was a serious affair."
Ladies, he said, were compelled To ride in street
cars.
The judge said that persons were under the
necessity OF riding In street cars and they are en-
Titled TO the protection OF the law and IL is the
duty OF the court 10 enforce the law In such way
that reckless persons will not be encouraged In
this kind o. business hereafter. This Is the most
remarkable case OF the kind, he said, that was
eyer before tie court. He sentenced the defendant

Adjusting Railroad Grants.
AN OPINION FROM ATToRNgY-GENERAL GARLAND
CONSTITUTING AN ACT OF CONGRESS.
Attorney General Garland, in response to certain
inquiries submitted to him by the Secretary Of the
Interior. has rendered an opinion relative to the
adjustment OF railroad land grants under the act
Of March 3, 1887. He decides that the classes Of
purchasers referred 10 by the act are as follows:
First, bona-nde settlers whose homestead or pre-
empti0n entries have been enormously Cancelled
on account OF q railroad grant or Withdrawals; sec
ond, bOna-1de purchasers OF such unclaimed lands;
third, bOna-fde settlers residing thereon. The
opinion further states that "patents under the
fourth sect are only intended to be issued after
1t shall have been legally determined, In the mode
prescribed In the second section, that the certi-
Gates or patent TO the railroad had been errO-
neously fss0ed. The intent OF the oct shows that
TO carry out the purposes the word grant, wher-
ever used In the second third and fourth sections
must include the lands In their primary and In
demnity limits, as each, directly or by necessary
In the flrst section. 1t was not intended to limit
the redress to cases In which the railroad could
rtghtfully have sold the lands The whole RENE
dial part was passed with recognition OF the fact
that the railroad companies had sold lands to
which they had no just claim
Upon receipt OF the opinion Secretary Lamar
directed the Commissioner OF the General Land
Once 70 proceed at once and with as much dis
patch as possible to adjust all the land grants
under the act OF March 3, 1887. His instructions
TO the Commissioner are minute as to details, and
are In accordance with the views OF the Attorney
General as expressed In the foregoing.
